Now THIS is a Salesman....



A young guy from Ohio moves to Florida and goes to a
big "everything under one roof" department store
looking for a job.

The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"
The kid says "Yeah. I was a salesman back in Ohio"

Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job.
"You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and
see how you did."

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through
it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down.
"How many customers bought something from you today?
The kid says "one".

The boss says "Just one? Our sales people average 20
to 30 customers a day. How much was the sale for?" The
kid says "$101,237.65". The boss says
"$101,237.65?

What the heck did you sell him?" The kid says, "First,

I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium

fishhook. Then I sold him a larger fishhook. Then I

sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he

was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I
told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down

to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine

Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda

Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the

automotive department and sold him that 4x4

Expedition."

The boss said "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook

and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?" The kid said
"No, the guy came in here to buy tampons for his wife,

and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go

fishing.........
